  • Description

    Barbaresco is one of the great wines of Italy's north-western Piedmont region. This aristocratic red has its vineyards situated in the Langhe, on the right-hand side of the Tanaro river and extending from the area north-east of Alba to the communes of Barbaresco, Neive and Treiso. The dominant variety grown is Nebbiolo, but Dolcetto and Barbera also play a part. The vines are generally grown on limestone-rich marl soils. similar to the Tortonium soils of the Barolo and La Morra areas in Barolo. Similar to its more famous sibling Barolo, Barbaresco is made from 100% Nebbiolo and shares its cult status as one of the finest wines in the world.

    Decant the wine gently to remove sediment, but avoid prolonged aeration, as older wines can be sensitive to oxygen exposure. Pairing it with aged cheeses, truffle-based dishes, or roasted game would complement its complexity, though it’s also an excellent wine to enjoy on its own, appreciating the layers of flavour that have developed.
